You want to drive a car with a busted cross member? Nice knowing ya.

 

He already had it up to 60 mph.



that's a bit scary. I think I might have just rolled it around the block or something, but not gone up to 60.

 

Hey Todd, wait til' we're in St. Louis..The three of us will drive up to the lot in both of our 3rd gens and and act like we know a lot about our car (which I say we can manage) and just start making Punjit feel dumb and try to get the car for a fair price. He wont know we have VGs and if asks see our motor we'll say ours is the better version plus we'll say my car was 550 bucks and bring my bill of sale

btw if there are any Hindus reading this I meant no harm and didnt mean to stereotypicalize. Sorry

 

+1 we can all nit pick that car to death and get it down. Not to mention it leaks every fluid it has (maybe not the windshield washer fluid..) and the broken parts.

I wonder if my AAA will tow it to your house?

~Alex

 

But you have no insurance, isnt AAA only through your insurance or something?

 

Um no AAA offers a whole package with towing and a bunch of other stuff. Its like $20 a year or something. (added onto my moms similar plan neither of us have AAA insurance)

~Alex

 

wow $20 a years? How can I get this deal?

 

Call AAA might be more (well it will be) expensive since mine was an add on to my moms.

~Alex

 

ok back on topic. sorry for the OT convo going on

 

Take with pics of my VE5 that I bought for $50

 

You got it, just post em

 

show him those pics.
not this one:

 

u bought that for 50 bucks? dann the interior is worth more then that. Thats a killer deal

 

lots of parts were worth more then $50 from that car....

Great ammo though

~Alex

 

sold the car for $500, then the guy rolled the odometer back 110k, and resold it for $800.
I got pics of that too

 

So you're admitting to felonious activity, huh?

 

Todd, print those puppies out

 

dont think its gonna do us any good but who knows

 

haha yea I highly doubt they will believe it or even care, I know I wouldn't. but I'll make a copy of my bill of sale..and have my car on me and show them how much better it runs for that price, I think thats what will help

 

man I dont know I dont think the guys gonna move on the price. If we can get him to take 500 then its coming home with us

 

I sold it with the odometer showing 237k. the guy who bought it from ME rolled it back to 127k (broke the odometer doing it). He sold it to someone else (Masa), for $800.
the story is actually posted here on the org somewhere.
it happened in december of 2005 the 22nd or so
I kept the liars CL add with pictures, because I wanted to watch him sue the scammer, turkey didn't though.
pics avail upon request

looks like it has short throw shifter yes no (although since its that car its prob just hacksawed down and glued back together)

 

OK Missouri emailed me this..

Thank you for your email inquiry. When a car dealer sales a car he must provide the purchaser with a valid safety inspection. If he cannot produce one he cannot sell the unit as a drivable vehicle. We cannot make the dealer sell you the unit for any price under what he is asking. You may file a dealer complaint if you would like. You would fill out form 4683 from the following website. http://www.dor.mo.gov/mvdl/motorv/forms/

 

Nice, so tell him the car isnt driveable and offer him 500-550... if not tell him whats the lowest he'll go. If he says 800 or more make him fix the crossmember and a couple basic things so the car is actually closer in value to the price he's asking. If not then file form 4683 on the website and teach them a lesson for trying to rob peopleand be slick. but then again I guess you might wanna wait for us

 

lol well I would like to get the car first before we start to cause some sh*it after we have car then we can file him

 

file now!
then you can get it cheap when he has to liquidate his assets to cover the legal fees

 

I am missing a bolt in my crossmember.

 

Great,i'm glad you shared this with us..

 

I'm missing a 10mm bolt where my radiator support bracket goes and thats because I snapped it off while trying to remove it.

Wanna know what else I'm missing? I got a BIG list

 

don't mean to threadjack, but does anyone know what shiftknob that is?

 

It looks alot like the one on my dads old ford escort..

 

Well he got the car. I'll let him tell how much he paid but it wasn't bad. It was much better then buying a tranny seperate tho.

I will say that car was a steal. We should have fixed it and kept or re sold it though. A new PS rack/hoses and f/r main seals and it would be a great DD. The struts were in great shape, the paint in great shape (minus the front bumper/hood) and the nice rims and spoiler. And the tranny, WOW it shifted perfect. It had some JY writing on it so it was replaced at some point. Im not sure what fluid is in there but man I wish my VG shifted that good...

It drove great minus the rocking from the crossmember and had good power. It ran great for the 1 mile I drove it.

Soon the doors/struts/rims will be on my 90 SE and the tranny swap will be on nforce's 93 gxe. I cant wait to post the pics. It was pretty funny to have 3 black max's lines up, all with aftermarket rims and no drop and 2 of them 5 speed. LOL

....

 

Thats a big NO WAY!!

 

What is? Driving it? I agree. Thats why I used AAA to tow it to his house, then we stripped it.

~Alex

 

32 or 33 i think onto my moms plan, ask me how I know, lol AAA is the best you sound just like me, did the same thing, gotta get the plus

 

pfff....I got T Mobile Roadside Assistance and I also bought a Goodyear Road Hazard Plan with my tires that offers towing to nearest tire shop and will reimburse me if its not a Just Tires/Gemini GoodYear
